10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Oxford

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car to keep costs down, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, making it wise to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to benefit from lower rates and increased availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, requiring you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is typically the best option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this situation.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: It is common to incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can prevent unnecessary expenses and provide peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car hire insurance when booking with Expedia is straightforward.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you are planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid any additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Where can I find an Oxford hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car hire companies that are in Oxford. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Oxford with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
